brake lines..

i wanan redo my brake lines when i put in my line lock, wilwood prop valve and the 1LE brakes. now the fronts i know i can bend my self and stuff but what about where the rubber lines from the calipers meet the hardline, is that fitting special? the rear main line i need to replace as well, is that somethin GM has to sell me or somethin i have to custom bend?

most if not all lines from gm will be straight and you'll have to bend them anyway. soft lines can be had at any parts store. hard lines are easy to bend too, buy a quality bender and you'll have no problems. the soft line to hard line is a standard flare fitting either double or bubble flare.

http://www.classictube.com and others sell the front-to-rear hard line; I believe it comes pre-bent, but also bent into a huge "roll" that you need to un-wind.

Find a $30 ISO bubble-flare tool at http://www.toolparadise.com ... I wasn't able to find them locally.
